  • Background and Concepts of the Promise and Law for Trainers
    Background and concepts of the Promise and Law for Trainers 1 Background and concept of the Promise and Law for © The Guide Association 2013 www.girlguiding.org.uk Trainers Introduction Girlguiding provides a framework to support the development of personal values. This framework is set out in the Guide Promise and the Guide Law. The Promise has evolved over the years in order to recognise the involvement of members of all faiths and none in guiding. We understand that for young people, as for adults at different times in their life, beliefs take different forms, which are not always about organised religion. No member is required to follow any particular faith. Instead, guiding encourages its members to develop positive personal values and the self-awareness, self-respect and self-confidence to make their own decisions. Members also Promise to ‘serve the Queen and my community’. At the very minimum, this means they are pledging to obey the laws of the land. However, it means much more than that. It is more than just a Promise not to be a bad citizen – it is a Promise to try to be a good and active citizen. In 1908 Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting and Guiding, had strong beliefs and convictions including a strong sense of stewardship of the earth and all living things and the value of small groups working and playing together. Out of Baden-Powell’s convictions grew the Scout Promise and Law from which the Girl Guide Promise was slightly modified. The Promise and the Law gives a purpose and a new meaning to life.

    23rd World Scout Jamboree – Japan 2015 – Person specification and role descriptions for Unit Leader, Deputy and Assistant Unit Leaders World Scout Jamborees are fantastic events and their impact on those that attend can be, in some circumstances, life-changing. Many young people and adults return from Jamborees exhausted but elated! The role of the Unit Leadership team is key in making sure that all the participants in the Unit have a positive experience of the Jamboree – from the moment they are selected right through until the end of the Jamboree experience (which may not be for many months after the Jamboree has actually ended). Being a Unit Leader, Deputy Unit Leader or Assistant Unit Leader is challenging but is also extremely rewarding. The below points indicate some of the skills and experiences that would be beneficial for those applying for a Unit Leader, Deputy Unit Leader or Assistant Leader role. Not everyone will have all the skills, and remember many skills and experiences are transferable from other situations (e.g. family life, work, other voluntary commitments). There are also many skills and experiences that would be valuable but we have not got room to list every desirable characteristic here. Please use this document (along with the role description) to help focus your application.
